Criteo | Acquia CDP | Acquia Product Documentation

You can use Criteo to display interactive banner advertisements to your audience. Criteo displays ads based on the online browsing preferences and behavior of your users.

Use cases¶

You can leverage Customer Data Platform (CDP)’s integration with Criteo to solve the following use cases:

Enable retargeting or personalization: You can send an audience selection from Actions in CDP to Criteo for retargeting or personalization of your ads. Criteo can leverage the email addresses of the users in the audience segment and retarget such users. For more information on setting up this integration, see Steps to retarget and personalize.
Avoid retargeting: You can send a file of the most recent transactions to Criteo. You can do this to avoid retargeting the same users with ads. You can send the offline transaction details to Criteo to optimize your revenue by not targeting users who purchased your product already. Therefore, you can get a better view of your ROI by including in the attribution calculation offline transactions of ads viewers. For more information on setting up this integration, see Steps to send transactional data to Criteo.

Steps to retarget and personalize¶

Step #	Description	Responsible
1	Define the audience targeting criteria.	CDP customer
2	Create a scheduled campaign in Actions.	CDP customer
3	Create a Support ticket or contact your customer value manager (CVM) about integrating with Criteo. Note The exported file from Campaigns+ contains the `Email Address - SHA256 Hash` and `mastercustomerID` columns. As Criteo cannot process the file with `mastercustomerID`, Acquia modifies the file to remove `mastercustomerID`. In addition, Criteo does not support SHA256-based values. Therefore, Acquia modifies the file to have MD5 hash column instead, which is supported by Criteo.	CDP customer
4	Leverage CDP’s self service credential management feature to create a CDP-managed instance that you can connect to an SFTP destination connector. For more information, see SFTP service provision.	CDP customer
5	Connect the file in the audience uploader to automate the file ingestion. The exported file contains MD5-hashed email addresses.	Criteo
